Last week's trivia answer

I was born in Georgia in 1979, and a year later my three stores racked up $7 million in sales. Today I'm the world's third-largest retailer and America's second-largest retailer, with 2,207 retail stores in all 50 states, China, Mexico, Canada and more. My annual sales top $75 billion. More than 22 million people visit one of my stores each week. My stores typically sport more than 100,000 square feet and contain about 40,000 different products. I employ about 350,000 people. I only buy wood from responsibly managed forests and not from endangered ones. Who am I?
